Like a Stone

[Verse 1:] On a cobweb afternoon in a room full of emptiness By a freeway I confess I was lost in the pages Of a book full of death, reading how we'll die alone And if we're good we'll lay to rest, anywhere we want to go [Chorus:] In your house I long to be Room by room patiently I'll wait for you there, like a stone I'll wait for you there, alone [Verse 1:] And on my deathbed I will pray to the gods and the angels Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven To a place I recall, I was there so long ago The sky was bruised, the wine was bled, and there you led me on [Chorus] [Bridge:] And on I read, until the day was gone And I sat in regret, of all the things I've done For all that I've blessed, and all that I've wronged In dreams until my death, I will wander on [Chorus]
